48-45 Victory Over | Gridders Root
For Trojan Basketbailers
Beavers Gives Troy NCAA Title Chance
by Jack McCurdy
Hail Welsh! Hail Pausig! Hail Irvin! Hail Hammer! Hail Psaltis! Hail Carr! Hail Twogood! Hail the Trojans!
SC is 1954 undisputed Pacific Coast Conference basketball champion.
Now it’s to storm on to Corvallis, Ore., to the NCAA Western Regional playoffs next weekend to take on the winner of tonight’s Seattle-Idaho State game.
The Trojans’ fabulous 48-45 victory over Oregon State last night at Long Beach’s Memorial Gymnasium will send both teams sailing to Corvallis. The Trojans—to seek more glory as the PCC cage representative; the Beavers—to hang ’em up for the ’54 season. SC and OSC are both headed for the north but here’s where last night’s outcome made the difference in roles. The Trojans will go as players and the Beavers as spectators.
It was just another typical 1954 SC basketball victory. Dick Welsh personally murdered the Beavers with two free-throws to insure the SC victory as 27 seconds were left on the clock. Troy smashed lrom behind in only the last six minutes of the ball game to grimly grab the lead and then win the game in much the «ame style as they won the playoff opener last Friday night.
The game w as never decided or near it. Every thrill possible happened in those last 20 minutes of the last half. The Trojans and Beavers were never more than three points apart in the final
two periods until SC concocted a monstrous four-point lead with just over three minutes to go.
The Trojans blossomed into Cinderellas with, it, seemed, the help of some fairy god-mother as 6 minutes and 30 seconds were
still remaining to be played. Roy Irvin, as brilliant as to be conceivable, ripped in a stray rebound to tie the score at 36-36 with exactly 6:30 to go in the final and decide-all quarter.
Twenty-five seconds later Dick
On to Corvallis . . .
It’s on to Corvallis and Regional playoffs for Coach Forrest Twogood and his heads-in-the-clouds Trojans.
The Trojans, who will depart for the northern city later this week, will meet the winner of tonight’s Idaho State and Seattle game in an opening title Friday night.
Other teams competing for one of four possible berths at Corvallis include Texas Tech and Santa Clara. Colorado A&M, who will meet the winner of the Texas Tech-Santa Clara clash, has already won a regional bid.
Welsh, the hero, popped a set-shot in from the far west corner of the Long Beach gym for SC’s frst lead since mid-way through the third stanza. Just a little over two minutes passed and Ralph Pausig got a free-throw that moved the Trojans into a three-point lead, 39-36, with 4:30 left.
Pausig was on the receiving end of a foul almost a minute later and Troy had a real comfy four-point, 40-36, command.
But Oregon State bulled, back with some of SC’s own determi-naton. Johnny Jarboe made good a free-throw and then Irvin caught the Beavers asleep for two points right under the basket. This gave Troy a five-point, 42-37 unoerhand which seemed un-
beatable with just about three
minutes to go.
But OSC players cool in the clutch with six straight free-throws brought the Northern Di-vison champs off the floor. Reggie Halligan flipped in two straight gift tosses and then Wade Halbrook, known for his inaccuracy at the iree-throw line, put four straight charity • throws through the noop.
The last of Halbrook’s free-throws put OSC into a dangerous 43-42 lead with 1:46 left to be reeled off. But here the gutty Trojans mustered the strength in the crucial spots for which they have become so well-known.
Irvin faked a hook and drove in for a field goal which put the desperate Trojans into a 44-43 lead. But the Big Swede, all 7 ft. 3 in. of him, had his say. He matched Irvin with & simple push from a foot to the side for another OSC lead, 45-44.
While about 3200 fans in the gym and thousands more before their television sets were tearing hair roots from their sockets, the two teams were struggling right down to the wire—the last moments of the last game. •
With less than a minute to play Irvin spun to right left and banked in a winning hook, his speciality which killed UCLA just a week ago. With 27 seconds slowly, too slowly, evaporating, Halligan registered his fourth personal foul, this time against Dick Welsh. The Trojan Captain, who had, up to this time, missed three of eight free-throws, calmly
swished one, which theoreticaUy clinched for SC a tie, and then two, which seemed enough to capture the victory. His two pres-sure-laden tosses increased the SC lead to two and then to the fipal three points.

We wTon’t say Twogood was nervous before the game, but one observe * swears he saw* the Trojan M_____tor surrounded by a
stack of empty cigarette wrappers . . . best yell of the night was by the above footballers: Our team is red hot, your team is all shot. . . . Novel, eh,
It was the final home appearance for the cagers, win or lose, . . . Trojan rooters more than showed appreciation for a job well done . . . each member of the starting five plus Twogood was given an individual yell during pre-game activities.
Among basketball notables were John Wooden, UCLA mentor who was at each of the Dlayoffs.
HAIL THE HEROES — Roy Irvin, who sparked Troy with 18 points last night to lead SC to the PCC title and chance at the NCAA playoffs, is shown in action.
